The article confirms a couple of things, one not so good, the other very good.
 
The pro-style NO Saints offense we were running just did not fit the team. For whatever the reasons, it seems clear that we not getting any results and those critical of it were correct.
 
However, the fact that Hackett (and Marrone) junked it just two weeks before the season, much less at all, speaks very well for their intelligence and guts. They did not dogmatically stick with a system they knew and hoped for the best - they took a chance and changed it. This is very impressive.
 
It also seems obvious that those that defended the talent and blamed the system (coaches) were correct. It was not a question of not having skill players or less quality than others - it was the system simply did not work.
 
It also seems clear that Hackett and Marrone have grown in the job and, painful as the process was, the result has been worth it.

We will miss Nassib (whose stock will rise further with this article) but the candidates for the job next year are all more mobile than he is and should fit the new system just fine. Over time as they develop it will be be fun to watch.
 
Job very well done.
